They would be smart to try for the sweep. I think they would like a couple games to rest Conley though
The date is already set the second rd. It starts Sunday if the series end in 6 or fewer and Tuesday if it goes to a game 7 so there is no reason not to try and finish it tonight.
...does anyone actually have a video replay of what happened to Conley's face? I'm guess it was CJ's elbow smashing it, but I'd like to see a replay of it. Maybe CJ is even more crafty than any of us ever knew.
That has a short slow motion clip of it. In the context shown, it looks like it could be intentional. Watch the whole sequence at full speed, I don't think craftiness was a factor - just an inadvertent injury.
I'd say it was intentional in as far as he was trying to get Conley out of the way, but certainly not with intent to injure.
Looked like bad timing for Conley to try to get in front of CJs path..never lead with the face they say
If CJ doesn't put his arm out, it's literally a head on head collision. You'd have to be completely lacking in basic motor skills to not protect your space in that manner.
